| NO. WHAT IS LIFE. WHAT IS LIVING? I THOUGHT I KNEW BETTER THAN THIS. and now I'm morbidly curious.
I was just sobbing throughout that episode for the exact same reasons!and then i wanted to throw meredeth out a window
Nope, not yet. I started reading the the book and then I remembered how bad I am at reading long novels. The show is on my to-watch list sort of next to The Walking Dead. I'm scared to watch those shows. (i hear people die?)

| Oh man.
There's a phrase. And it applies to a lot of things, but the first thing I heard it applied to was aSoIaF.
Everyone you love will die.
/gross sobbing/
WALKING DEAD IS REALLY GOOD TOO!
(Everyone you love will die)

| That is such an accurate phrase. I need that on a t-shirt that I can wear while watching my tv shows and sobbing.
I'm so terrified right now.
Someone hold me.

Don't worry. It will be okay. We'll get through this together.

| I just started the second book, and I have a friend who is all caught up so I randomly just text her in all caps ...
Let's see what the last one I sent was ...
"OH GOD A NEW NAME ON A CHAPTER NOOOOOO :c " (There are SO many characters and I'm only on book TWO.)
There have been other times, screaming about how stupid some of the characters *coughNedcough* are

| I mean, most of them are minor characters, but yeah, there are a lot of names.
And like ... different chapters are told from different people (Like in the first book, all of the points of view are Arya, Bran, Catelyn, Daenerys, Jon Snow, Ned, Tyrion and Sansa)
And there are just some chapters I get excited to read (Arya, Dany, Jon Snow, and Tyrion) and others that just make me groan

| They aren't in first person point of view, they just focus on that particular character. It's a really good series that I really need to continue...

|
| Yeah, that's a better way to put it.
It's like ... different settings? More like a bunch of ministories that are actually all the same big story?
DON'T LISTEN TO ME I CAN'T DESCRIBE THINGS BUT IT IS SO GOOD

| It is a fantastic story. You have that set of characters with their own storylines that intersect or deviate, all contributing to the metaplot, and it's reeeeeeally good.

| Ahh...okay then...that's totally better than. Although when I book is written like that, normally it doesn't happen with more than two, maybe even three character. Once in a while could be more but from what I have read, it's never over five characters throughout the whole book where it does that.

| Well, to be fair, this entire thing is set over seven kingdoms.
Or, you know, they used to be seven kingdoms.
